I want to move right away on the possibility of leasing land to build hangars. That involves private funds, and it makes it less likely that a client is going to leave.

I know we have been awarded monies to buy a new plow truck. The figure is $393,000, which is a pretty good chunk of change. That's 95 percent grant funded.

I'm just looking forward to working with this board and working with the community to further advance the airport. It is an integral part of the economic puzzle in our area. We have no problems, they're just challenges.

We applied for the Small Community Air Service Development Grant. I don't want to say it failed; we just were not chosen. There are quite a few more airports that applied, and they only awarded 23 this year.

That's sweet right there. I couldn't even have the possibility of doing it. That's so sweet. We've got the utmost respect for Mike and the things he's done here.

Right now we're preparing for every possibility. We really don't know what to expect. We're looking at a lot of different tapes, looking at different options. We're previewing what we think might be, but you never know what might be out there with a new coach in the first game of the season.
